but officially florida officials say obama has taken florida with 50% of the vote to romney's 49.1% of the vote. why did it take so long? well, there's a combination of factors. first of all, florida has early voting. now, previously it had been 14 days. but the republican governor rick scott cut it back to eight days. so that meant a lot of people who normally would have gone were unable to go. so if they didn't want to go stand in those ridiculously long lines that they expected were going to come, they chose to at the last minute do absentee ballots which take a lot longer to process. so you had already 2 million plus people on absentee ballots plus now people at the last minute filling out absentee ballots which sort of jammed the system up. then on the actual voting day you saw the overwhelming lines in florida. some people were still voting on tuesday at midnight, well past the close of 7:00 p.m. effectively what this means is that for those floridians their votes don't count. they count officially but they don't mean much. but in the grand scheme of things here, you can see that

"the crowd is enthusiastic. much like obama's audiences in recent weeks. but they look different. they are noticeably whiter and older." republicans and more conservative candidates have had an advantage with older voters. john mccain, even as he was getting clobbered, he won among early voters. the point about whiter voters is very important to republicans this year. in the last 20 years, this is the percentage of the electorate voting for president that is white. so you see the
